I would like to share with you my impressions after watching The Imitation Game. I really like movies based on the true story so for a Friday evening I chose just this one.
The plot is based on the story of deciphering German machine used during World War II which was called Enigma. The main chacaracter Alan Turing, who is a mathematician and cryptographer, helps crack the Enigma code. He has his own vision which leads him to construct an innovative machine which will be able to demystify the working of Nazi's Enigma.

In the background of this engrossing story appears another thread that concerns the homosexuality. After the war Alan Turing was prosecuted for homosexual relations and impelled to undergo a hormonal therapy and thereby he committed suicide. In the old days homosexuals were jailed in England. Some of them could choose to take hormons instead of imprisonment. Despite Turing's enormous contributions to the war he had to suffer due to intolerance.
I appreciate the way in that two topics were presented in the movie. The thread of deciphering the Enigma reflects clearly the main facts of its history. When it comes to the second topic, they put it in a particular framework and present it in a gentle way nonetheless, straight from the shoulder.
If you haven't had a chance to see it yet, I highly recommend it.
